The
First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Church at Corinth
Chapter
10:23
23
All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all
things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6:12
Brethren:
As
noted in the related scripture that whilst we are not under the curse
of the law, not all things are profitable to us. This is to say they
do not edify either ourselves or others.
Additionally,
whilst all things are again lawful, they are not to be used
excessively. This is to say to be enslaved, and/or addicted to them,
so they, in essence, become idols and stumbling blocks to us or
others.
Consider
therefore friends, in all that you do, ask; does it portray God’s
righteousness and holiness through us, or does it edify others?
Remember, most times, actions speak louder than words. Also, friends,
be careful of what and how we speak. While the aforementioned is
true, it is also true that our words can bless or curse, lift up or
tear down. Therefore, think, and consider all things with the view of
God in mind.
